About this property
Villa 3
Summary:
Villa 3 is ideal for guests seeking privacy, convenience, and authentic island charm with modern comforts.
The Space:
Villa 3 at Villas By The Cove offers the charm of old Hawaiʻi with a modern twist in a newly remodeled, stand-alone villa originally built as a beach bungalow in the 1950s. Designed for comfort and privacy, this single-story retreat feels like a true home away from home, just steps from the ocean.
The villa features air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen with quartz countertops, a comfortable king bed, and a full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Thoughtful touches throughout the space ensure a relaxed and convenient stay. Thoughtfully designed like a second home, Villa 3 comes stocked with essentials and travel extras: beach towels, iron and ironing board, tupperware, wine glasses, dishwasher pods, clothes drying rack, and more. Basic necessities—linens, bath towels, kitchen rags, travel-size toiletries, and pantry staples like salt, pepper, and olive oil—are also included.
Guests can grab the beach gear for a day on the sand, then return to cool off in the ocean-view pool or enjoy a BBQ in the lush tropical garden surrounded by mango and palm trees.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive use of Villa 3, including the private bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, living area, and covered lanai.
Guests can enjoy the shared swimming pool, two communal gas BBQ grills, and a complimentary washer and dryer are located on the property.
Two beach chairs, two boogie boards, a beach umbrella, and a cooler are provided for your sun-filled days at the beach.
The Neighborhood:
Villas by the Cove is located 25 feet from The Cove Beach Park where guests can mingle with locals, take surf lessons or body surf in The Cove's consistent small waves. Charley Young Beach, a long stretch of white sand ideal for beach walks and swimming, is another local favorite that's located at the end of the street, about a one minute walk from the property front gate.
Getting Around:
For the active and adventurous traveler, our prime location offers easy access to sun bathing, swimming, surfing, snorkeling, diving, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking and whale watching. Also a golfers' paradise with nearby world class golf clubs less than 10 minutes away in Wailea and Makena. Restaurants, shops, nightlife, cafes, farmer’s markets, and Kalama Park are within a 5-10 minute walk from Villas By The Cove.
Other Things to Note:
Guests have access to our complimentary private Concierge service for assistance with arranging group activities such as luau's, whale watching, and snorkel boat tours, private chefs/caterers, pre-arrival grocery service, in-residence spa services, and group transportation.
Interaction with Guests:
The Property Manager is available by phone and frequents the property daily. We're a locally owned and family-operated business, and we’re proud to call Maui our home. Because we live right here on the island, we’re able to offer a level of care and hospitality that truly sets your stay apart. We encourage our guests to reach out if they need any assistance during their stay.
